executing-phishing-simulation-campaign
Executes authorized phishing simulation campaigns to assess an organization's susceptibility to email-based social engineering attacks. The tester designs realistic phishing scenarios, builds credential harvesting infrastructure, sends targeted phishing emails, and tracks open rates, click-through rates, and credential submission rates to measure human security awareness. Activates for requests involving phishing simulation, social engineering assessment, email security testing, or security awareness measurement.

# Executing Phishing Simulation Campaign
## When to Use
- Measuring employee susceptibility to phishing attacks as part of a security awareness program
- Testing the effectiveness of email security controls (secure email gateway, DMARC, SPF, DKIM)
- Conducting the social engineering component of a red team exercise to gain initial access
- Establishing a baseline for phishing susceptibility before deploying security awareness training
- Validating that incident response procedures work when employees report suspicious emails
**Do not use** without explicit written authorization from the organization's leadership, for actual credential theft beyond the authorized scope, for targeting individuals personally rather than professionally, or for sending phishing emails that could cause psychological harm or legal liability.
## Prerequisites
- Written authorization from executive leadership specifying the campaign scope, target groups, and escalation procedures
